Though you wouldn't know it from Leftmedia accounts or films like "Redacted" and "Battle for Haditha," the case against the "Haditha Massacre" Marines has been falling apart for a couple of years now. In the most recent development, all charges were dropped against Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum without explanation (read: lack of evidence). He is the third Marine to be exonerated, leaving only one to face court martial.
"Lance Corporal Tatum wants to make it clear to the Marine Corps---especially other Marines---and everyone else that there were no deals in this decision," said attorney Jack Zimmermann, a former military judge and retired Marine. "I have never had a client who would have more preferred to have a trial rather than have the charges dismissed in a deal. He has believed all along he did nothing wrong and was prepared and anxious to stand trial." Somehow we doubt that Hollywood or Rep. Jack Murtha (D-"in cold blood") will be apologizing for their rush to judgment.
Semper Fi! Prayers up for the last Marine left facing this farce!!!

Rarely are members of the press combat vets. That explains their complete lack of understanding what takes place in combat. They would rather sit back safely in their armchairs and try too crucify a young warrior, than hold the line. Great news for this young man. My prayers are for the last young marine, as well.
